What used to be a landmark of Penang has turned into a stinky, ugly, messy stretch of mud. Gurney Drive is a tourist spot, a family favourite for evening walks, lovers haunt, senior citizens daily morning jog and a place to hang out with friends. No thanks to the previous Barisan Nasional government, development was rampant and the sea and beach disappeared. What is left now is a row of high rise condos, shopping malls and hotels facing one of the stinkiest place in Penang.
